I won't watch Season 5 but anyway I believe by Season 7 we will have a completely new cast except for McKay. He will be the only original castmember left.

You say that like it is a bad thing? :S:D

I think from the spoilers we saw, some of which have apparently been pulled since...that none of the main cast or main regulars bite it. It is only redshirts and as someone said probably Kannan (can't have Teyla playing "happy families" on Atlantis after all :rolleyes:).

Season 4 was crap. The writing was just awfull. The way TPTB treated Carter was a slap in the face of long time fans. Further more every female guest was portrayed as a sex object for McKay and Sheppard. The new characters were badly written especially Keller and Larrin. Keller's constant whining made alot of the episodes unwatchable. Almost forgot. The way they treated Torri Higginson aka Weir.

Season 5 doesn't look any better from all the spoilers I read. For example that Woolsey will be put in charge. I like Robert Picardo in his role as the Doctor on Star Trek Voyager but his Stargate character just isn't leadership material. They made Keller a regular character. Need I go on?

I however need my share of Stargate. If TPTB can't provide me with it then I can at least get my share of Stargate on the forum.

I believe that, if they keep trying to improve the show by messing with the cast, by 2nd half of S6, maybe only Sheppard will be left, at which point the show will have jumped the shark. With what's going to happen to Ronon in S5, I see a Ford Maneuver being pulled, where they bust him down to recurring and then kill him.

If that is so, then why is Woolsey going to come? There is no reason for him to take over when Sam is still around.

I'll tell ya what will die, good plots/stories, good characterisations, strong female characters, team based episodes, and the sense of wonder and discovery that used to be in the show we call stargate Atlantis. prove me wrong PTB, prove me wrong!!!

but seriously i'd be very worried if i was Lorne right now, he's had a target painted on his but for a while now!!! who i wish would die in no particular order. keller, Teyla, and Michael, he's just getting plain annoying!

Every single one will come out of that building alive, at least the characters with actual names. There might be some red shirt killing.

Next on the list, probably Kanaan since they don't know what to do with him anyway. And that's 501, not talking about the rest of the season where I wouldn't be surprised if more (un)named characters will bite the untimely dust.

TBTB were looking for a new leader and finally decided to ask if RP was interested, and he was. we don't know how or why Sam will leave Atlantis, there are several theories. however like I said she'll appear in future movies and might return in upcoming Atlantis eps. last but not least TBTB aren't stupid. do you have any idea what would happen if they'd kill her? hell they didn't kill Jack when he left the show and there are a lot more reasons to keep Sam alive ;)

Id like that, but theyre gonna be done filming most if not all of season five long before theyre even building sets from SGU. Personally i hope they have a good lead into sgu from sga like how sg1 searched for atlantis for a year. Atlantis should show the prep/search for sgu.

why would the IOA place woolsey in charge. if the future account was false then there is no need for it, if it isnt true, sam never dies and woolsey never takes over

Much as I love Lorne, I'd be worried if he's in too many eps as it probably means TPTB are setting him up to be killed by the end of the season.

Sadly, that won't happen, as SGU is going to be a stand-alone series without connections to SG-1 or SGA.
If true that'd actually be a relief. However, I'm not about to hold my breath, especially since even if it was true at some point it may not be true by the time they start filming.

Having him as the lead (or a lead) in SGU might be... interesting, but I can't shake the fear that if he got bumped up the ladder- on either show- his character would become flatter, less interesting and a lot more rigid. Recurring characters seem to fare better development-wise.

Yup, they had a team of red shirts with them.
Then as has been said, they're toast. Our Heroes will miraculously survive, but everyone else will have died horribly in the explosion/collapse. Except maybe for one token Red Shirt who lives just long enough for us to see him suffer as Our Heroes try valiantly to save him before he, too, dies from his injuries. ;)

ToasterOnFire

No one with a name in the credits will die in the building. That means Shep, McKay, and Lorne are safe, but the redshirts are fair game. Oh noes, the redshirts! Look at how fandom is abuzz over their fate! :rolleyes:

Kanaan might die but I sure don't care. Michael may die, and I'd probably care more if TPTB had kept him as an interesting villain instead of this power-hungry, emotionless caricature we see now.

GoSpikey

March 11th, 2008, 08:28 AM

[mod snip]

The Michael/Teyla shippers try to kind of defend him, saying that he became cold because his last human part died in the form of Teyla. After that, he just no longer cared and did the worst he could.

We don't know how she died, so it's a possibility.

And I too find it a bit strange that we don't really know Major Lorne's team, aka they mostly don't have names, aka you kill them off every now and then.

I rewatched "The Defiant One" yesterday, and it just happened that Shep, Rodney and 2 John Doe's were in the Jumper going towards a Wraith Supply Ship. Guess who died? Yup, the Doe's... Later on, Teyla and Ford came to the rescue... Very strange, really. Splitting them up. :D

ShadowMaat

March 11th, 2008, 09:06 AM

Hmm... I wonder if Lorne is considered bad luck and if people go to lengths to avoid getting assigned to him just because of the death rate? ;) Poor Lorne, it's so hard to find good Red Shirts these days. LOL!

Kanaan is a definite possibility, but I think he may survive long enough to die tragically in Teyla's arms. :rolleyes:

Season 4 was crap. The writing was just awfull. The way TPTB treated Carter was a slap in the face of long time fans. Further more every female guest was portrayed as a sex object for McKay and Sheppard. The new characters were badly written especially Keller and Larrin. Keller's constant whining made alot of the episodes unwatchable. Almost forgot. The way they treated Torri Higginson aka Weir.

Season 5 doesn't look any better from all the spoilers I read. For example that Woolsey will be put in charge. I like Robert Picardo in his role as the Doctor on Star Trek Voyager but his Stargate character just isn't leadership material. They made Keller a regular character. Need I go on?

I however need my share of Stargate. If TPTB can't provide me with it then I can at least get my share of Stargate on the forum.

So you're not watching because you think a yet-to-be season of Atlantis will suck based on random tidbits of info? Why even watch TV at all?

At the very least watch the season premiere before you starting rating something.

ShadowMaat

March 12th, 2008, 06:10 PM

And yet some people can't wait for the new season to start and are already squeeing about a "yet-to-be-seen" season, basing their enthusiasm on those self-same "random tidbits of info." Why is that more acceptable? And if people can be psyched because a favorite character is going to be in an ep, why can't they be displeased when a character they don't like is going to be in an ep? Or in this case, many eps?

At the very least watch the season premiere before you starting rating something.
Indeed. Just remember that the advice works both ways. ;)

But I'm digressing. No one that anyone actually cares about is going to die in the premiere, unless there are some tongue-in-cheek fans supporting the Red Shirts and other random background characters. :D

As for the season-at-large, I'd say the only guarantee is that Shep and McKay will both live, with Ronon's and Teyla's survival being extremely likely (unless RL opts out to spend time with her kidlet).

At the very least watch the season premiere before you starting rating something.

It's not just because of what I read in the spoilers. It is mainly because I gave TPTB about 20 hours of my life (Season 4) and was except for a few episodes completely disappointed. I lost my faith in them. I just couldn't take that crap anymore. Give me a reason to believe that burned out writers who have absolutely no fresh ideas left in them could possibly make a decent Season 5 after their failure with Season 4. For comparison. I would rewatch all 20 episodes of Season 1 in a heartbeat. They are that good. Season 2 had 19 episodes equally as good while Season 3 had only 18 episodes left I would rewatch. Now comes Season 4 with 9 episodes with rewatchvalue and only three of them are outstanding while the other six are at best mediocre.

I know there are those who think Season 4 was the best Season ever. I can't understand those people nor do I want to attack anyones opinion but portraying women only as sex objects and plotholes all over the place plus unengaging and unintelligent stories where you most of the time already know what is going to happen (too predictable outcomes) isn't my idea of quality entertainment. Flame me all you want. That is just my opinion.
